During the week of July lth Mrs. Helen Henderson, Mrs. Del Gosson, Mrs. Mary Low, Mrs. Dorothy Turansky and Mrs. Helen Couroux went to the Couroux cottage in Haliburton. All the Institute were invited. Those that went report a wonderful holiday. Mr. and MIrs. Malcolm Burwýash of Fonthili visited MIr. and Mrs. G. Cathcart for a couple of days last wveek. Last Saturday mnorning was perfect holiday weather for the Orangemen and the L.O.B.A. ladies to travel by bus the eighty four miles, starting at Bowmanville and circling around until they reached Norwood, where the ,Orange walk was held. Nor- wood has a large level fairgrounds with a very fine sports centre and arena, a n ideal place to entertain a large crowd. The parade was led by two men carrying flags followed by two dapple grey horses'. On one was seated King William. Then came the Tyrone ladies of the L.O.B.A. with their motto, "The open Bible is our guide". Next was the Kendal Fife and Drum Band followed by Kendal Lodge 405. t was quite a panorama of place names that followed; Frazerville, Peterborough, Lakefield, Peterborough Juveniles in their red, white and blue uniforms; Oshawa black knights in full uniform, Nor- wood, Little Lake, Castieton, Buying food metrie way When grocery shopping, you've probably noticed that certain food proucts have been converted to metric sizes. The food specialists at the Ontario Food Councîl, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, point out that by 1980 al products will be in metric. During the conversion pro- cess, two terms will be used - hard and soft conversion. Let's relate these terms to actual products. Ice cream is now available in containers marked 4L, 2L, iL or 500 ml. Ice cream has undergone hard conversion. That is, now containers giving only the metric unit of measure have been produced. On the other hand, some products are marked in both metric and imperial units of size. A can of tomatoes will have two mark- ings on the label, for example 19 ounces and 540 ml, or 28. ounces and 79S ml. Any product that has both the metric and iniperial units of measure on it has undergone sof t conversion. Bowmanville Canadian leg- ion, Kiltie Band 178, Cobourg, Percy, Lindsay, Reaboro, etc. The most interesting of al was Mohawk L.O.L. 99 from Deseronto. There were one hundred members in their lodges. The men were dressed in leather suits with feathered head gear. The ladies wore a head band with one feather in it marching to the music of their fine band. On Saturday somne of the young folks of this area took in the big rodeo held not far The Courtice Area Citizens Association have petitioned the provincial -cabinet asking that the approval of the Ontario Municipal Board for the Courtice Heights sub- divisions be changed or a new hearing called.

The group made their decision to appeal the deci- sion even though the City of Oshawa has decided to step Kendal1,News out of the battie. t is flot known how long it. will take before a decision would be handed down by the cabinet. There is also littie hope that cabinet will reverse the decision. In the meantime last Thurs- day the Town of Newcastle council in special session authorized that an agreement be signed to, allow. the construction of the develop- ment of the two subdivisions, by Courtice Heights. Xmas seal fund committee meets The first meeting of the Christmas Seal Fund Raising Committee of Durham Reg- ion Lung Association was heid recently in Oshawa. Co-Chair- men of the 1978-79 Campaign will be Marline D. Veater (District Manager, Bell Can- ada) and Bill Eastwood <Eastwood Material Handling Co., Oshawa) with other committee members being Glenn Montgomery (Mana- ger, Main Branch, Bank of Nova Sctia, Oshawa) and Mrs. Beverley Eastwood, Plants Gardeners who smoke may be hazardous to their plants. According to researchers at Mississippi State University people who smoke cigarettes and cigars can pick up the tobacco mosaic virus on their hands, and pass it on to their plants. When they do, they can stunt the growth of the plant and make its leaves pucker. The virus is usually found in about 60 percent of al cigarettes, and smokers can cause serlous damnage to their plants just by brushing them with their fingers, if they have been in contact with contaminated tobacco. Tomatoes and peppers are especially susceptible, and somne greenhouse producers now require smokers to dip their hands in milk before touching the plants. Proteins in the milk inactivitate the virus, preventing its spread, and in vegetable nurseries a $75,000 was again set as a Campaign target, the same amount proposed but flot achieved during last year's Christmas Seal Campaign. t is hoped that, with a greater drive for contributions from local business and industry, and with such additional promotional and fund-raising activities as the planned Christmas Seal Concert (Oct- ober 29th) and Cookery Dem- onstrations, the 1978-79 target will flot only be achieved but exceeded. smoking bucket of milk is set out in each field, for smoking work- ers to dip their hands after each cigarette. Your Lung Association has another sol- ution. They recommend that smokers prevent damage to their plants, and even greater damage to their own lungs by kicking the smoking habit altogether. The latest govern- ment survey showed that nine out of ten smiokers asked said they would quit, if there were an easy way. There is no easy way, but lung associations across the country are ready to help smokers find some way to free themselves ýof those nicotine fits.

They care about every breath you take. from Norwood. We passed it on the way home. On Sunday morning some of the Kendal folk attended the Union Service at Kirby sehool. Rev. B. Long gave a fine message entltled, "The Wedding Feast". We enjoyed meeting Rev. Littlewood again. Rain is very badly needed in the Kendal area. The corn is only Up to our knees and it should be up to our waist. The. pastures are very dry so the milk suppiy is going down. Farmers are buying water. In the past we have been very wasteful.

This year raspberries and tomatoes wîfl be a failure. cheap imported strawberries and Ontario strawberries have had to be ploughed under. As the proverb says, "Wilful waste makes woeful want". Durîng the nine years of no crops on the prairie a cousin told us that they carried water to their large garden for months from a slough.
